ABOUT THIS VIDEO

I'm delighted to invite super inventor, musician and all around warm-hearted interesting person Mark Barton to the channel for a sincere discussion about his white paper titled "Why Modern Digital Synthesis Is More Analog Than Analog". While comparing Analog vs Digital Instruments, we'll cover topics such as signal-to-noise differences, digital filtering, the psychedelic digital experience, if there are expressive digital instruments, acoustic vs electronic instruments, the advantages and disadvantages of endless possibilities vs embracing limitations and finally, the pro's and con's of unpredictability vs repeatability. We'll also discuss Mark's latest inventions at Cherry Audio and we'll tackle the question if selling all your electronic analog instruments makes sense in 2024. And please let us know if you're a buyer or seller after hearing from Mark.
Mark Barton is a brilliant audio engineer, with a list of accomplishments a mile long. In the 1970s, Mark designed the Pollard Industries Syndrum, which defined the sound of electronic drums for the disco generation. He's also done groundbreaking work in speech synthesis, including writing the MacInTalk text-to-speech system for the first Apple Macintosh computer, and designed the innovative Zeroscillator hardware synthesizer module for Cyndustries. For the past five years, Mark has been brining his talents to Cherry Audio with modules and bundles for Voltage Modular under the MRB Labs and Cherry Audio/MRB brands, and has contributed to the wildly popular instruments Miniverse, Novachord + Solovox, GX-80, Lowdown, Eight Voice, Rackmode Signal Processors, and, most recently, Synthesizer Expander Module and Pro Soloist
